jinky I was thinking about borrowing a wheelchair to get around Mr Ts. Why do they make them so huge?
Natty I have to try to think about it as our money now as my income alone is so little. Gone are the days when DH was a kept man :rotfl:

Ouch esio Your cut sounds bad. I hope it heals soon but don't go using it too much or it might open up again.

Drillers here again today but still haven't started drilling as their compressor won't start.
I am off out to 'pensioners lunch' at 1pm. I hope they don't notice that I am a little bit young for that. It is a great place to meet old friends.:D And just £4.

piggers would one of these bed wetting alarms annoy DD3 enough that she might stop or would it just annoy everyone else? IMHO if she likes being wet then you def need a psych appt. and re DD2 and her hygiene etc could DD1 help keep her in line a bit - maybe she would take more notice of her sister.
toots xx

We had an alarm.. it woke everyone except her! She said when we brought it home from clinic it wouldn't work as she likes being wet!

DD2 will be ok.. I'll just nag her a bit.. apparently (according to DD1) I'd told DD2 not to put them down the loo in the bathroom as they block that one so instead of using the other loo she just hoarded them.. I said to DD2 if that is the case she should tie them up in a carrier and put them out in the wheelie bin.

Freja feeling better today.. she smiled!! She even laughed when OH put cream on her sore bum.. odd baby.

TD on

Morning. Just.

Decided this being at home melarky is way too energetic for my likings! The more I try to rest, the more the 'phone rings and people come to the door. So far, three tele calls (and yes, we have TPS), followed by the one I ignored - which was of course my FIL. Then after the post had been, someone at the door - as I was on the 'phone to someone else, I ignored them, thinking they had to be double glazing or the like - and much to Mr and Mrs Dog's disgust - so he came to the back door ................ and it turned out to be my freebie "Knitting for Dummies". :j:j I NEVER get freebies.

I have been sat upstairs sorting through paperwork. I was going to do little 5 minute jobs around the house - but just KNOW I will end up being too energetic, so am listing jobs which I am only going to allow myself to do sat down - thanks for the suggestions Toots. There's always a way.

Updating list now. Number One. Count cobwebs - thanks Pigpen. :embarasse Mind you, if I remove the Spy Houses, how will you know all my weaknesses?

Chicky has been named Charlie ... beeeetter be a girl!
I've bought it a small fluffy duck for company, we've only got 2 adult birds and neither has ever showed any sign of being broody, although both are laying again
Hopefully we've got some hatchers in the next batch. Keep your fingers crossed.
Girly husky thinks it's a crying puppy and is getting stressed, beagle wants to eat it and shadow is like "bovered" Urgh girls!

I've skimmed the thread but had visitors and been out with MiL since soooo hugs, sticks and spoons as needed - and who ever it was with the poorly finger, keep an eye on it.... My mother once suggested taping a condom :eek: over a baddy finger with a cut. So it stayed sterile - not sure I'd recommend it though :rotfl:

Mad clean round this morning as visitors which was luckily all in the right places

Ohhh and my lovely DH bought be a Steam cleaner with his over time so kitchen got done later yesterday but was fun! I've steamed everything!!!!!!! :rotfl:
